I'm thankful for Thanksgiving!

What a great day Thanksgiving was. All of our parents are out of town so the Moncada cousins got together to celebrate Thanksgiving. There were 17 of us - 9 adults - 4 tweens - 2 preschoolers and 2 two year olds!!! We had so much fun, way too much great food, and we made great memories. Thanks to Robert and Isabel especially for doing all of the chores on the list and helping things to run smooth. Yeah!!!
ps. I took pictures of the food but they didn't do it any justice. Oh well. :)

Cheeese!!!

They had way to much fun!

Jasmine and Jesse are trying to put a dent in the ridiculous amount of mashed potatoes that I made.

A relatively calm feeding frenzy. Luckily for us Isabel made 3 great appetizers to keep everyone from tearing up the kitchen.

Robert & Cousin Loli ~ our turkey carvers!

We got creative with our seating arrangements.

Loie is loving her Uncle Sal!!

Robert took Jesse down and some others along the way!

Buffet style dinner is great when you have so many pretty resources to dress the table with. Pretty apples from Tita & Tito's apple trees, leaves from the tree on the side of our house (no it is not marijuana) and terra cotta pots that are the perfect size for votive candles!!!
